I wrote this peace in Finland, surrounded by very straight birch trees, thinking about my mother, who used to say “I need a straight line” – whenever things were not going well. It has been translated to different languages (e.g. Finnish, Spanish, Czech) original German version
a straight linie
a straight
line a straight
line i am searching for the straight
line i need the straight
line the straight
line has been here before
but the straight
line has been lost
long ago
now we need
a straight
line a straight
line
and a simple
square
and a bad
conscience
with clean
corners and good
lighting and straight
lines now we need
the straight
line again i know
sometimes there
will be a straight
line again a
a real straight
line
